Women who have suffered a miscarriage don't have to wait a few months before trying again, doctors say.

In fact, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal, those who conceive within six months of a miscarriage have the best chance of having a healthy pregnancy with the lowest complication rates.

They are also 44% less likely to have another miscarriage compared to those who wait six to 12 months before trying again for a baby. Many NHS doctors tell women to wait at least three months.
